Compulsory attendance is not new. Really, this ordinance just adds a little enforcement to an educational policy that's been around. |
He's a good teammate. To see him on the court today, it's an amazing feeling because you just know how much better our team's going to get. |
I can't kid myself. I'm looking forward to the Big East and to LSU. But we have to stay focused. We can't skip a team we're playing. We just have to go game by game, prepare ourselves and be ready. |
I have gotten great feedback in the last week that I am an individual that N.F.L. teams could and will be very interested in. I am anxious for the chance to show scouts next week that I can help their team in the future. |
I think if I can just get a year of football under my belt, I can be a pretty good player. |
I want to play against tough teams and tough opponents. That gets you going. I'm very excited for the heat of the schedule coming up. I know my teammates are excited, too. |
I want to play. When I see opportunities, I have to take full advantage of it. I'm not fooling anyone. When I get out there in the game in Providence, I'm going to go all out again. |
I'm glad I kept myself ready. There were times in the season when I could have quit, could have just thrown in the towel, but I always stayed positive. I always remember last year at this time. Certain situations I was needed to step up big and it was just a coincidence it happened (Saturday). |
I'm up there on the sacrifice scale. School-wise, atmosphere-wise, family-wise, I'm happy. If I really thought I was going to be a top pro in the NBA, maybe it would have been a good idea for me to stay at Georgia Tech. I can't get down on myself. I have to keep playing hard. |
If that's the case, then that's fine. If they want to get up in us, fine, more power to them. We'll be ready. |
It was on Government Island, which is now Alameda, when they held the (1940) World's Fair. |
It's almost like Big Brother is watching me out there, those tic-tac fouls. The main thing for me, I think it's different when you're scoring 10 points and eight rebounds like I did in my past. You can get away with some things. But when you're coming off the bench, playing sparingly, I think they're just trying to put me back in my place. |
It's like a little city within a church. |
Marcus is such a good player and he contributes a lot. He's had the attitude in practice that he's going to help us. He's been real good. He's had an upbeat attitude. I think all of us as a team are looking forward to him coming back. He knows what's coming (on the road). Marcus is the type that he'll use that to his advantage. He just has to block that out and play his game. |
My agility times were real good, but the 40 needs work. Coming out of the stance takes a lot of practice. My hands felt good. I missed a low one or two, but you aren't going to catch them all. My hands have been feeling real good. That's one thing that is to my advantage. |
